Boston Police report a lobsterman helped rescue some boaters swamped by the onslaught of yesterday afternoon's driving thunderstorm.
According to police, waves whipped up by the storm capsized the boat around 5:45 p.m. at the Reserve Channel by the Conley Terminal, as it was on its way to India Wharf. The lobsterman, not identified by police, took on the soaked mariners while a Boston Police harbor-unit boat pulled the sodden boat to the nearest dock.

Summary after the break.
(Image available at source)
This Landsat image shows the 39-mile (63-kilometer) track of destruction left by an EF3 tornado that struck southwestern and south-central Massachusetts on June 1, 2011. Notice that the track widened as the tornado made its way through the state. At its widest point, the tornado track is roughly 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) across.

Kate Neville reports she found this photo and address labels in her Natick yard today. The labels list an address in Stafford Springs, CT, about 20 miles south of tornado-ravaged Monson, MA. But where is the photo from? Who is the little boy?
I keep wondering if this photo is from someone's home that was destroyed in the tornado...
Because of stories like this, NECN weatherman Matt Noyes has opened up his Facebook page to people who want to post photos of stuff they've found, in the hopes their owners might reclaim them:
I don't expect there will be a great many items, but if we can reunite even just a few folks with their treasured belongings, hopefully it will help ease their loss in a very small way.

Commish96 shot this last night. Lightning strikes on the Pru are actually relatively common, but always dramatic.

Historygradguy titled his photo of the Back Bay OMFG (see it large). Nathanael Hevelone captured some lightning over Allston at the height of the storm:
Meanwhile, the mayor's office reports about 3,000 customers lost power in the storm, concentrated in Dorchester, West Roxbury and Brighton.

Amazing how quickly the fog consumed downtown. Jamie Merrill watched downtown disappear around 5 p.m. (meanwhile, still sunny here in Roslindale).

This weather plus allston = really awesome walks of shame. White leggings, 4inch ankle boots, sequin top, thin coat.
UPDATE: Ashley alerts us that she was not herself on one of those walks.
